Any notion I had about the inaugural Forever Nigella being a flash in the pan was swept away this month when SIXTY of you were well and truly Seduced by Chocolate for Forever Nigella #2. Without further to-do let’s linger over all our wonderful slinky chocolate smothered entries. You may like to take the phone off the hook (do people still do that?) while you do so…

Josie at Cumin in the Cupboard sent her husband out especially to buy chocolate for these Budino Di Cioccolato

So that’s sixty plus entries…. wow I just couldn’t believe how they kept popping into my inbox every day. But there can only be one winner and Dom at Chocablog has been visiting each chocolatey Nigella delight to come up with this month’s winning post:

….It’s….. Mia of Bright Morning Stars Foodie!

Here’s what Dom has to say about Mia’s entry:

“I was looking for something that was indulgent and chocolatey without being too fussy. This looks simple enough that I could make it, but decadent enough that I would want to eat it all myself (don’t expect me to share!). I love the idea of using cacao nibs and cherries together, but it was the gooeyness that won me over. And I really, really want one right now.”

So well done Mia and I’ll be in touch with you to arrange delivery of your Forever Nigella prize.

If you haven’t heard yet, a further reminder Forever Nigella #3 has started already. This time our theme is Italian and you can find out all the information in the announcement post here. I’m getting into a habit of announcing one theme the day after the previous one closes with the previous round up published ASAP so you can get going on the next month’s theme without hanging about!

Whew! I never imagined this would be SO popular nor SO quickly. I will be handing over the baton to new hosts from Forever Nigella #4 onwards so if you’re interested in playing Forever Nigella hostess and you’ve not let me know already please drop me an email to sarahATmaisoncupcakeDOTcom Thank you!

Wow – what an incredible feast of chocolateyness. They all look totally delicious – such wonderful photos too (I’m ashamed of my dark, swiftly-shot effort!). Looking forward to the next round and already have my stack of Nigella books on the kitchen table for inspiration.

I was inspired, tempted and slightly exhausted by the time I looked at all these entries…..How must you have felt? What an amazing round up. Such an incredibly high standard (and lovely to see other Dubai bloggers joining in too). Thanks Sarah.

My heart skips a beat…no 2 , im so overwhelmed and excited that am still tingling all over….this is totally wonderful!

Cant wait for the Italian dish. Might have to write a couple of posts as I cant really decide what I want to cook/bake 😉

Flippin heck!!! And I thought doing a We Should Cocoa round up was bad enough but 60 different submissions, that is a fantastic job! I was going to say who would of thought there were so many different chocolate recipes … but then it is Nigella lol

What a great chocolate round up. This is an art of cooking. I love chocolate and can’t wait to try some of these wonderful recipes. My personal favorites are chocolate rice pudding and chocolate and macadamia fudge. They look delicious!
